Yeah... my reply was from my phone and it seems I missed OP's question at the end of the post entirely. (Slapping myself silly...)
Lubuntu is not "bad" it is just using a different desktop environment called LXDE. For me if surely does not have the same userfriendlinyness+prettinyness as XCFE + Whiskers menu.
(Menu it's not as configurable and desktop either).
LXDE is techically lighter than XFCE, but since it's only one part of the OS, having a new and updated Lubuntu and apps could easily take more ressource to run than a XFCE distro like Linux Lite, specially previous distros like 3.8 32bits or 2.8 32 bits.
There is also a Ubuntu distro using XFCE called Xubuntu, but, it is not has hip/cool/hot/great as the Linux Lite of the same generation.
As for the title question "Why would anyone use Lubuntu over Linux Lite?"... only reason I see is ressources. I personaly don't like it.
